Role assign

The role that this device belongs to. Devices in your design are allocated to roles (either manually, or automatically by NWare). Roles are then assigned to MediaMatrix hardware devices for processing during deployment.

You can manually assign a device to a role by clicking the button to change it to the button, and then selecting a role name in the list.

NWare will decide which role this device belongs to.

The user will specify a role manually.

Multiple devices have been selected for assignment to a role; some of the devices have already been assigned to a role manually and others have not.
